Can’t pigeons do the same thing?

Klear , to patientgamers in What have you been playing this week?

C&C: Tiberian Sun. Damn, that game still looks great.

EddyNottingham ,

Me too! So stoked to be playing it again.

Klear ,

One tip for the final Nod mission I would have wanted to know before playing it - the game tells you that you have time until the GDI station makes three orbits and then gives you an hour timer. I was running out of time and made a despearate push for the final objective with just seconds remaining and then… another hour timer started. You have 3 hours to beat that map, I thought it was just the one =/

It’s the finale where you have all the toys and get to play with the enemy in any way you want. Don’t make the same mistake as me and rush through it, you can take your time.

EddyNottingham ,

Oh wow, thank you for the tip! Knowing that will make my playthrough more enjoyable ♥️

TheBigBrother , to asklemmy in What is the difference between a man and a parasite?

Read Animal Farm by George Orwell and you will know the difference.

Sam_Bass , to asklemmy in What has been the worst church service you have ever attended?

When i was six i had to sit in my own poop for an hour long sermon because nobody would let me get up to go. Course they also had to sit in it with no reaction heh

Looks like I need to consider flipping back to Debian again… it’s always beeen a Stable relationship…

a base is in a sense the opposite of an acid.

They dropped a chemical that is “anti acidic”

BestBouclettes ,

Any base that could be dangerous enough to have to evacuate a building? When thinking about bases, I’m thinking bleach

MeowZedong ,
@MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml avatar

tert-butyl lithium. Ignites on contact with air. Often used in conjunction with flammable solvents, so large fires and explosions are possible when working with large enough quantities.

As far as safety SOPs go, nearly any chemical spill of a large enough quantity warrants evacuating the area in my chemical safety plans. For some institutions, this is as little as 1 liter or 500g of material. This can obviously be overkill if you spill something that is relatively inert and non-toxic such as water or NaCl.

BestBouclettes ,

Very nice, thanks for the reply!

spilling a bottle of water in my house: aw shit better get the mop

spilling a bottle of water in the lab: aw shit now we gotta evacuate and call in the chemical spill guys

shneancy ,

i’m not a chemist so take my words with a grain of salt -

google says the most dangerous bases can cause skin and eye damage, and be very flammable if they were to dissolve aluminium (two different chemicals). So I guess worst case scenario you open the windows, lock the room, and come back with protective equipment to clean up your mess

you probably wouldn’t handle something, that if dropped, would be dangerous enough to need a whole building evacuated outside of a dedicated room without wearing a full hazman suit and adhering to additional 100 precautions and safety measures

unless you’re the sort of guy to use a screwdriver to play with the demon core, but that’s not a liquid chemical base and hopefully won’t happen again

tacosanonymous ,

You’d probably do the work under a hood too.

grue , (edited )

BRB, looking up the pH of chlorine triflouride

Edit: Turns out it reacts explosively with water (so it itself can’t form the aqueous solution necessary for the concept of pH to be applicable) and decomposes into two different strong acids (hydrofluoric acid and hydrochloric acid). So yeah, not a candidate for our mystery base.

I guess the nixos users were all too busy asking everyone if they’ve heard of nixos to answer the survey?

BTW have you heard of nixos?

QuizzaciousOtter , to science_memes in Pandas

Is 600 MB a lot for pandas? Of course, CSV isn’t really optimal but I would’ve sworn pandas happily works with gigabytes of data.

gigachad ,

I guess it’s more of a critique of how bad CSV is for storing large data than pandas being inefficient

zaphod ,

CSV is not optimal, but then someone shows up and gives you 60GB of JSON instead of 600MB of CSV.

Diplomjodler3 ,

Why do you have to personally attack me like that?

tequinhu ,

It really depends on the machine that is running the code. Pandas will always have the entire thing loaded in memory, and while 600Mb is not a concern for our modern laptops running a single analysis at a time, it can get really messy if the person is not thinking about hardware limitations

MoonHawk ,

What do you mean not optimal? This is quite literally the most popular format for any serious data handling and exchange. One byte per separator and newline is all you need. It is not compressed so allows you to stream as well. If you don’t need tree structure it is massively better than others

QuizzaciousOtter ,

I think portability and easy parsing is the only advantage od CSV. It’s definitely good enough (maybe even the best) for small datasets but if you have a lot of data you need a compressed binary format, something like parquet.

My first thought was which one is which?

TheGrandNagus , to linux in The least happy computer users: Those running Arch Linux & Firefox

I’m immensely sceptical of anything that comes from Lunduke.

I don’t really know what happened to him but he went kinda nuts.

pH3ra ,
@pH3ra@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah, he was already on a weird path but after Covid he went down really hard.
I hope he will seek help and get better

SexualPolytope ,
@SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Nicco Loves Linux made a pretty interesting video on him a month-ish ago. You might enjoy it if you’ve known Lunduke since when he was still nice.

Edit: Link to the video

TheGrandNagus ,

This seemed interesting to me, so I prepared a cup of tea, sat down to watch, then quickly realised I’ve already seen this before, oops 😅

Thanks for the link regardless, I’m sure others are seeing it for the first time

Engywuck , to linux in The least happy computer users: Those running Arch Linux & Firefox

That’s why I use Arch but avoid Firefox. Balance is the key.

FatLegTed ,
@FatLegTed@piefed.social avatar

What would you recommend instead of Firefox?

Engywuck ,

I’m done recommending stuff, because my use case is not necessarily your use case. I can only tell you that Brave is the sweet spot for me, at the moment.

FatLegTed ,
@FatLegTed@piefed.social avatar

I get what you mean, we all have different requirements, didn't expect Brave, though. It's getting a lot of flak lately.

Thanks anyway; -)

wizzor , to science_memes in Booper 2 Pooper

My only question is, why are only amphibians measured this way?

halykthered ,
@halykthered@lemmy.ml avatar

Perhaps their tails are easily or often damaged?

So measuring from full fore to aft might give inconsistent results among other similar variables for the examined species, such as location, age, and weight. Going booper to pooper might give more reliable data, if the tails are often snipped at the tip by other reptiles, predators, disease, rogue mohels, swamp boat propellers, or hastily closed doors.

This is my best guess, I’m not lizardologist or a measuresmith.

dingus ,

I mean, it’s not the exact same, but human fetuses can be measured similarly with a “crown to rump” length. I have to notate this in my reports (but I include other measurements too like hand/foot length and “crown to heel” length).

anzo , to science_memes in Pandas

pola.rs enters the chat…

MajorHavoc , to linux in The least happy computer users: Those running Arch Linux & Firefox

The real data point here is that Skackware users are happy.

I suspect it’s because they’ve mastered the art of not giving a fuck.

superkret OP ,

Yeah, that’s pretty spot on.
